World Conference on Timber Engineering 2023 event
The next World Conference on Timber Engineering will be held in Brisbane in 2025. The WCTE is the world’s leading scientific forum for the presentation of the latest technical and architectural solutions and innovations in timber construction. It is considered the most prestigious international event in the field of timber technology for construction, timber structures, and the design of timber architecture. Source: Timberbiz
WCTE 2023 was held in June in Oslo, Norway and attracted more than 850 delegates.
WCTE 2025 will offer the Queensland and Australian industry an opportunity to showcase Australia’s research and development status and expertise in timber product design and durability.
Additionally, it will serve as a significant platform for networking with internationally recognized research groups across various timber design and research fields.
WCTE 2025 will also present as an opportunity to highlight the advances and carbon benefits of timber construction, particularly for Queensland Government Stakeholders as they plan the 2032 Olympic venues and athlete accommodation.
Submissions are sought for both oral and poster presentations, which must address the principal conference theme of Advancing Timber for the Future Built Environment.
The WCTE 2025 technical program will have a focus on the importance of research and development undertaken by the timber design and construction community in response to the increased demand from engineering and architectural firms, developers and investors, now emphasising timber engineering as a preferred solution for many projects.
WCTE 2025 themes:
- Material Performance & Durability
- Sustainability and Timber in a Circular Economy
- Timber Engineering & Structural Performance
- Timber Architecture & Biophililc Design
- Education, Innovation & Challenges
- Exemplars & Construction Case Studies
Abstract submissions are invited on the above themes in the focused areas of:
- Architectural Focus
- Engineering Focus
- Practitioner Focus
The submission deadline is 30 April 2024.
The University of Queensland, along with the support of the ARC Advance Timber Hub, will host the conference from 22 June 2025 to 26 June.
